As all things that have deep roots in tradition, the politics of wedding gift buying is a complicated and sensitive matter. Even though many couples make the process easier by registering, some ultimately decide against it. Perhaps this is because they would like a monetary gift or would like to be surprised. In either case, you are left to figure out what a young couple would enjoy and value in a wedding gift and that may require a little profiling. Here are a few tips on what gifts to avoid like the plague and what you can buy instead.
Monogrammed towels – While this is certainly a cute idea, it is definitely hit or miss. For the modern couple, this gift may seem a little too old-school. Remember that if the couple is young, they are still working on home basics, not home extras. Fancy towels may be skipping a step in their climb to the perfect home. Instead, go for a luxurious chenille bedspread. Try to select a neutral color to avoid clashing with their existing bedroom decor.
Any major appliance (if living together before nuptials) – If the couple in question has been bunking together for some time now, it is likely they will have a decent toaster and microwave. Unless you know for sure otherwise, it is best to avoid these clunky gifts that are just a hassle to return. Think flair rather than functionality. In that case, a stylist beaded lamp shade is perfect for adding some intrigue to their living room. Select a style that is modern, popular and not too “out-there” unless you absolutely have a clear picture of the couple’s taste (or sense of humor, for that matter).
Exercise equipment – No matter what the occasion, this is just a touchy subject. Many a husband and boyfriend have found themselves in the doghouse after purchasing a stationary bike for their sweetie, even though said sweetie expressed a specific desire for it. Avoid this awkward situation by going for the complete opposite. Nothing says, “You are perfect at any weight” than a decorative cookie jar. Even if your couple isn’t particularly into sweets, cookie jars are a handy place to keep random things like receipts or take-out condiments.
